Need help setting Air Level in Forks

[chuck hahn]

I use my vintage Suzuki fork air pressure gauge.....kinda beat up but it works!!! And a foot operated bicycle pump works well. Just hold it up and give each for 3 or 4 pumps and then check the pressure. There are some very sensitive digital gauges that will measure very low air pressures. If i remember right, the manual says something like 11 or 12 psi.

Thank you all!

It'll be a couple days before I can get back to it - I'm flooded in at the moment, had the first really heavy rainfall all year.

I didn't know Suzuki even made those gauges.. Pretty neat - it does seem like this is something that would take precise measurement, unfortunately every chuck or pump I have leaks air and I may as well just be puffing in the wind.

So far the strongest case has been made for the PVC pieces, although those sonic springs are a lot cheaper than I expected them to be. I'll likely have a set in the next month or so.
